Oats masala dosa-stuffed chickpea cereps

We love masala dosas ,It's like a special breakfast ....on birthdays or festivals  and everyone really looks forward to it, but the thing is -it's packed with high calories,so I decided to give it a healthy twist by replacing rice and potatoes with  oats and chickpea (BTW did you know that eating a large potato is like eating a plate full of rice) .The results? well they were amazing,very much like the original in taste but way too low in carb and starch .In all a  healthy breakfast item .
Lets move to the  the recipe
